WPC sunshade profiles for the Grotta Perfetta district in Rome
In the Grotta Perfetta district of Rome, NOVOWOOD® profiles were used to enhance the façades of a residential complex through the use of vertical architectural elements.
For the residential façades, INFINITY PLUS 75H40 profiles were used, pre-assembled into panels. The vertical arrangement of the profiles creates a distinctive architectural feature that extends across the building and interacts with the alternating balconies, light-coloured surfaces and darker volumes of the…

For the residential façades, INFINITY PLUS 75H40 profiles were used, pre-assembled into panels. The vertical arrangement of the profiles creates a distinctive architectural feature that extends across the building and interacts with the alternating balconies, light-coloured surfaces and darker volumes of the façade.
A second application involves a circular structure, clad with 120H60 profiles. The sequence of vertical elements follows the curved geometry of the volume, creating a continuous screening system while enhancing its shape through the regular rhythm of the profiles.
For both applications, the Wood colour finish was selected, bringing the warmth and visual appeal of timber to a contemporary architectural setting characterised by a combination of different materials, colours and geometries.
The Grotta Perfetta project demonstrates how NOVOWOOD® wood composite profiles can be used not only as functional screening elements, but also as an integral part of façade design, adapting effectively to both linear surfaces and more complex architectural geometries.
